Human Resources: University H.R. Department Enhances Strategic Contributions with Ultimate Software's UltiPro

    WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2007--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that Bryant University is experiencing strategic HR benefits as a
result of UltiPro's customizable reporting library, benefits
enrollment feature set, and Web self-service for managers and
employees.

    Founded in 1863 in Smithfield, Rhode Island, Bryant University has
approximately 1,100 employees who assist in the education of 3,600
full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students from 31 states
and 32 countries. Bryant University had been using a service bureau
that required a significant upgrade. Before investing in the upgrade,
HR leadership at Bryant University decided to investigate other
options and selected UltiPro for its ease of use and strategic
functionality. Since going "live" on UltiPro in 1999, Jeana Welshman,
payroll and human resource analyst for Bryant University, has found
that UltiPro's business intelligence tools have helped their team add
value to the university.

    "There is no doubt that UltiPro's reporting has given human
resources a seat at the executive table," said Welshman. "Our
leadership is very pleased at the speed and quality of detailed
information we can provide them. I use the reporting every day, and am
still amazed at the depth of information I can extract about our
workforce. We have not seen another solution that provides the
reporting capabilities of UltiPro that doesn't require an IT person."

    Welshman and other members of the HR team create regular reports
for management on trends, compliance, and labor metrics that were
either impossible or took days to assemble before UltiPro. For
instance, in several minutes Welshman can determine the real-time
dollar value of unused vacation days -- part of a regular monthly
report Welshman delivers to executives. Before UltiPro, this
calculation took approximately a half day to prepare. She also uses
UltiPro's reports to model salary increases, help with union labor
negotiations, and drill down into manpower costs by department.

    Post-benefits enrollment reporting has been expedited with UltiPro
because Welshman and the HR team have in-house control and can slice
and dice benefits information by type, provider, department, or
employee. Bryant University leverages UltiPro's benefits enrollment to
empower employees to update their benefits choices from anywhere at
any time. The functionality has also shaved off a week of tactical
work that Welshman and her group spent inputting benefits choices
before UltiPro. Now, the HR team at the school simply exports a file
for benefit providers without data entry, saving time and improving
accuracy.

    "Our human resources department can spend more time evaluating and
managing our total compensation package for employees because we are
spending less time keying in benefits changes and handling enrollment
forms," said Welshman. "With UltiPro, benefits handbooks and open
enrollment instructions are on the UltiPro portal for everyone to see,
streamlining benefits enrollment for everyone. The portal serves as
the university's central repository for business forms, HR news, and
all information relevant to employees."

    All employees, including managers, can access information via a
Web browser from class room, office, or home. Managers can see paid
time off, job history, or compensation of their staff. Employees can
make changes to their direct deposit selections and update their
addresses, in addition to viewing benefits choices, beneficiary
detail, and payroll history.

    "It's mutually beneficial for management and HR for managers to
find information on their own without coming to HR," said Welshman.
"With fewer calls and emails to human resources, we have time to spend
on more strategic projects."

    "For organizations that want their HR teams focused on recruiting
and retaining the highest quality employees, UltiPro provides the dual
benefit of administrative automation for streamlining tactical
activities and meaningful reports and workforce metrics for making the
best strategic decisions," said Greg Swick, senior vice president of
sales for Ultimate Software. "Bryant University is doing a great job
at leveraging UltiPro for cross-organizational business value."
